Change dimmer to normal light switch

Question

I have changed a dimmer to a normal light switch.
On dimmer there were two red cables: 1 going into L1 and the other into a wavy line with arrow through it.
I have put L1 to L1 on normal switch and wavy line to common on light switch is this correct?

This is fine
Ordinary light switches don't make any distinction between "line" and "load" sides; in fact, in North America, we mark the two "live" terminals on an ordinary wall switch identically (they're both brass screws, vs. the black screw used for the common terminal on a 3-way wall switch).  So, you can connect it either way around, and it'll still work.
